“I think (Alli) will probably be around for a long time to come. It’s a smart drug more from a marketing standpoint than from a clinical efficacy standpoint. This is a multibillion-dollar industry.”
– Donald Hensrud, a weight management specialist at the Mayo Clinic (from here ).
Well, there you have it. Just because clever marketers make a product or pill look great doesn’t mean it will actually work.
It’s a crazy economic time we live in right now. I’m curious to see if we will still spend $30+ billon this year on weight loss products and pills. I think we will because we all want the quick fix. Sad.
